I went to a busy flea market this morning. This is how my neurodivergent brain (#AuDHD) works.
It seems to me that neurotypical brains can filter out/edit/moderate incoming stimuli or data more easily than #neurodivergent ones. For me, it's particularly noticeable with sound. So, I created a comparison to show you what I mean.

Perhaps this is why autistic people are much more adept at spotting details and patterns in data, but it also illustrates how they can become more quickly overwhelmed.

@Richard_Littler @actuallyautistic Yes, that's exactly how I feel. I don't have ADHD but I am autistic, and selecting the things I should be paying attention to is a nightmare. I'm used to feeling overwhelmed, though. It's the story of my life.
